Season 2 starts on the 13th. Stoked!

Well they did it. They kept the most controversial part of the 2nd video game intact for the series.

Okay… I’m actually glad that happened this early because I accidentally listened to a podcast that blurted out the moment and I thought wellll… crap. it must happen at the end of the season and would have ruined the watching experience all season.

But they snipped that concern real early!

I'm really surprised it came this early. Like Cheese I figured it was going to come at the end of it. I was thinking penultimate episode. The main reason I'm surprised is that…

Spoiler: possible spoiler if haven't watched/gamed

…is that Pedro is pretty much out of the show now. I didn't think they'd get rid of the big name at the start of the season. It felt like they'd drag it out to the end and deal with the aftermath in S3.

Ep. 2 was insane. Purposely stopped playing the game so it wouldn't give anything away.

I absolutely thought it was coming at the end of the season or possibly not at all. That was a pretty epic episode. Typically something that huge happens in a season finale.

The only reason I thought that they possibly would change the story line is because it's Pedro. He was a massive draw to the show to begin with and it's pretty balzy to take the main draw and kill him off regardless if it was in the game or not.

I accidentally got it in an article, so ditto.

Catherine O’Hara is a great addition to this season.
